Description: A small horn, transformed in this instance into an elegant bottle. Suspended from a delicate necklet are two intricately beaded bottles, each adorned with vibrant bead streamers that dance gently with movement. Typically worn by men and women of middle age or older, these ornate vessels hold precious medicine sourced from traditional healers, a testament to the rich heritage of natural remedies.
